As usually you are worng, Tasco.

"Sin embargo, si se mira la cosa con perspectiva, el hecho de que los tres ataques se dieran al tiempo no parece mera casualidad

Para empezar, ¿qué hace una investigada por parapolítica, como lo es la senadora Gutiérrez, pidiéndole información reservada a un funcionario investigador de la Fiscalía sobre cómo lleva la Corte sus procesos? ¿Y qué hace un investigador con una carrera destacada como Díaz, que tenía acceso a información privilegiada de la estrategia investigativa de la Corte, compartiéndola con la persona investigada?

De hecho, según información de la misma Fiscalía, Díaz fue retirado de su función investigadora de apoyo a la Corte por esta conducta. Y hoy está en otras labores.

En cualquier película de abogados estadounidense dirían que eso se llama obstrucción a a la justicia, pero resulta que ese delito no está tipificado por la ley penal colombiana. El que sí existe en el código es el de abuso de autoridad por acto arbitrario. Y según penalistas consultados, la Fiscalía debería investigar si se pudo haber cometido este delito y debería retirar al Díaz del CTI por lo menos mientras se aclara el asunto."

Tasco don't worry about dolfi's english, he's going to be too preoccupied with learning russian in the next few months. His first phrase in russian will be "long live Russiya, long live the motherland".

My english is surely better than your german..or spanish, I suppose.

By the way, Us-Bases in Germany are mostly closed allready since the nineties, only the big airport in Ramstein ist still working. Most of the american soldiers who where injured in Iraq while ensuring american oil supply are treated in Germany.

By the way: The war in the caucasus is another example of the USA encourageing a country to go to war and than turning the back at her ally:

“Robert Hunter, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO who worked to expand the alliance's relationship with Russia in the 1990s, said that although Moscow may have provoked Georgia into a fight, the fact that Saakashvili took the bait by moving his forces into South Ossetia last week is a clear sign that the Georgian president believed he would have Washington's backing.

"Saakashvili thought he had room to play," Hunter said. "I would have rather the Russians hadn't responded, but Saakashvili sure . . . did it, and he did it in the mistaken belief, I believe, that he had friends in [the Bush administration's] court."

More evidence that the left-wing conspiracy is falling apart:

Close ally of Colombia's president freed from jail
By CESAR GARCIA – 17 hours ago

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — A former senator close to President Alvaro Uribe was freed from prison on Wednesday, four months after his arrest on charges of colluding with far-right death squads.

Mario Uribe was released after Colombia's No. 2 prosecutor said there was insufficient evidence to hold him. He remains under investigation, however, and is barred from leaving the country.

Mario Uribe is the most prominent figure in a scandal that has sent 33 current or former national lawmakers to jail on charges of benefiting from ties with the so-called paramilitaries.

Another former lawmaker, William Montes, was also freed Wednesday after a judge determined he was under duress when he signed a 2001 document pledging an alliance with the paramilitaries.

The judge dropped criminal conspiracy charges against Montes, who had been jailed for 15 months.

The paramilitaries formed in the 1980s to defend wealthy ranchers from leftist rebel kidnapping and extortion but evolved into drug-trafficking criminal mafias. Prosecutors blame them for at least 10,000 murders and the theft of millions of acres of prime cropland.

Mario Uribe is a second cousin of the president and he presided over the Senate from 2000-2001. The two launched a political party together in the mid-1980s and have been close allies since.

As he left prison, Mario Uribe denied any relationship with the paramilitaries, whose top leaders President Uribe extradited to the United States in mid-May.

"I never met with paramiltiaries," he said. "I never served them, or promoted the groups, never helped them and they never helped me."

“Sin embargo, la decisión generó fuertes reacciones. Una de ellas por parte de la columnista María Jimena Duzán, de la revista Semana.

En diálogo con BBC Mundo, Duzán dijo que con la investigación de la parapolítica se está presentando una "impunidad técnica". Y explicó que varios de los ex congresistas que comenzaron a ser investigados por la Corte Suprema ahora están quedando en libertad.
Duzán criticó duramente al fiscal general, Mario Iguarán, y se preguntó si "ahora está actuando como ex viceministro de Justicia".

Según la columnista, es inexplicable que la Fiscalía haya decidido no investigar a Mario Uribe, después de que hace poco hubo denuncias sobre la supuesta participación del ex congresista en un montaje en contra del principal investigador de la parapolítica en la Corte Suprema, el magistrado Iván Velásquez.�
